What National Crisis? We Have Never Suspended Any Of Our Election Campaigns, Even During World Wars.

avatar

John McCain is just one of 100 Senators. He is not The President, The Senate Majority Leader, or The Speaker of The House. He holds no national leadership position.

How dare John McCain unilaterally try to subvert our national election process, which was not diverted, even when we were fighting both  The German Empire, and The Japanese Empire at the same time.

McCain is talking the nation into a depression, by claiming that the sky is falling, and his VP partner is doing the same thing by warning of a looming Great Depression.

McCain/Palin are fomenting consumer panic, which will cause them to stop spending, and cause a economic collapse.

The Media must not allow McCain/Palin to keep shouting fire in our crowded theater.
Nothing has changed from this time last week, so why are we supposed to suspend our election process, and not  get to see the two candidates engage in a debate.

McCain shows, once again, that he is a knee jerk irrational person, and therefore lacks the temperament and judgment to be President.

To say nothing of 1864 during the civil war! "Inject politics" into the bailout debate? Of course politics are at the very center of the debate--over deregulation, over whether the government does or does not get take an equity stake in the saved companies. Campaigns are wonderful previews of administrations. The contrast between Obama and McCain couldn't be greater.
